Sec. 6. (a) In the case of a recall, a light which is plainly visible to the drivers shall be flashed and a recall sounded, but the starting gate shall proceed out of the path of the horses. At pari-mutuel tracks, in the case of a recall, wherever possible, the starter shall leave the wings of the gate extended and gradually slow the speed of the gate to assist in stopping the field of horses. In an emergency, however, the starter shall use his or her discretion to close the wings of the gate. There shall be no recall after the word "go" has been given unless there is a mechanical failure of the starting gate. Any horse, regardless of its position or an accident, shall be deemed a starter from the time it entered into to the starter's control unless dismissed by the starter, or declared a nonstarter by the judges.
(b) In the event a horse causes two (2) recalls, it shall be an automatic ruling of the judges that the offending horse be scratched and a mutuel refund ordered.
(c) The starter may sound a recall only for the following reasons:
(1) A horse scores ahead of the gate.
(2) There is interference.
(3) A horse has broken equipment.
(4) A horse falls before the word "go" is given.
(5) A mechanical failure of the starting gate.
(6) A horse approaches the start out of position.
(6) (7) The starter determines, in his or her discretion, that a horse has never been within a fair distance to the starting gate whether off stride or not.

Sec. 7. (a) A leading horse is not to be more than four (4) feet from the inside rail/pylons except after selecting its position in the home stretch. Neither the driver of the first horse nor any other driver in the race shall do any of the following, which shall be considered a violation of driving rules:
(1) Change either to the right or left during any part of the race when another horse is so near that, in altering the position, the horse behind is compelled to shorten its stride or the driver of the horse behind is forced to pull the horse out of its stride.
(2) Jostle, strike, hook wheels, or interfere with another horse or driver.
(3) Cross sharply in front of a horse or cross over in front of a field of horses in a reckless manner, endangering other drivers.
(4) Swerve in or out or pull up quickly.
(5) Crowd a horse or driver by putting a wheel under the horse or driver.
(6) Carry a horse out.
(7) Sit down in front of a horse or take up abruptly in front of other horses so as to cause confusion or interference among trailing horses.
(8) Let a horse pass inside or outside needlessly or otherwise help another horse to improve its position in the race.
(9) Commit any act that shall impede the progress of another horse or cause it to break.
(10) Change course after selecting a position in the homestretch, swerve in and or out, or bear in and or out in such a manner as to interfere with another horse or cause it to break.
(11) Drive in a careless or reckless manner.
(12) Maintaining a position of half in and half out or failing to make a reasonable effort to advance when pulling to the outside.
(13) Lay off a normal place and leave a hole when it is well within a horse's capacity to keep the hole closed when there is no strategic reason to do so.
(14) If any of the violations in this subsection is are committed by a person driving a horse coupled as an entry in the betting, the judges shall set both horses back if, in their opinion, the violation helped improve the entry's finishing position. Otherwise, penalties may be applied individually to the drivers of any entry.
(15) Drivers must set and maintain a pace comparable to the class in which the driver is racing or the horse's abilities.
(16) Drivers at any point in the race after the start who use the outrider or starting gate to assist in getting control of their horse may be placed last by the judges.
(17) Turn the horse abruptly after the finish of the race in order to return to the paddock or the barn area.
(b) All complaints by drivers of any foul driving or other misconduct during the heat must be made at the termination of the heat, unless the driver is prevented from doing so by an accident or injury. Any driver desiring to enter a claim of foul or other complaint of violation of this section must, before dismounting, indicate to the judges or patrol judge his or her desire to enter such claim or complaint and forthwith upon dismounting shall proceed to the telephone or judges' stand where and when such claim, objection, or complaint shall be immediately entered. The judges shall not cause the official sign to be displayed until such claim, objection, or complaint has been entered and considered.
(c) If any horse loses a piece of equipment during a race and that equipment bothers another horse or horses, it may be considered interference by the horse responsible for the lost equipment pursuant to
71 IAC 5-3-3(a)(19).
(d) In case of interference, collision, or violation of any of the restrictions in subsections (a), (b), and (c), the offending horse may be placed back one (1) or more positions in that heat or dash. In the event such collision or interference prevents any horse from finishing the heat or dash, the offending horse may be disqualified from receiving any winnings and the driver shall be fined or suspended, or both. In the event a horse is set back under this subsection, it must be placed behind the horse with whom it interfered. An interference that occurs to a horse or horses not in contention that did not affect the outcome of a race to that horse or any other horse as it applies to purse money won may not be grounds for a disqualification. Although, the driver causing the interference may still be penalized.
(e) If there is any purse money for which horses have started but were unable to finish due to interference or an accident, or both, all unoffending horses who did not finish will share equally in such purse money.
(f) A driver shall not:
(1) fail to display competitive urging or cease driving while in contention in the home stretch;

71 IAC 8-1-5 Furosemide as a permitted foreign substance
Authority:
IC 4-31-3-9
Sec. 5. Furosemide may be administered intravenously to a horse, which is entered to compete in a race. Except under the instructions of the official veterinarian or the racing veterinarian for the purpose of removing a horse from the veterinarian's list or to facilitate the collection of a post-race urine sample, furosemide shall be permitted only after the official veterinarian has placed the horse on the furosemide list. In order for a horse to be placed on the furosemide list, the following process must be followed:
(1) After the horse's licensed trainer and practicing veterinarian determine that it would be in the horse's best interests to race with furosemide they shall notify the official veterinarian or his/her his or her designee, using the prescribed form, that they wish the horse to be put on the furosemide list.
(2) The form must be received by the official veterinarian or his/her his or her designee by the proper time deadlines so as to ensure public notification.
(3) A horse placed on the official furosemide list must remain on that list unless the licensed trainer and practicing veterinarian submit a written request to remove the horse from the list. The request must be made to the official veterinarian or his/her his or her designee, on the proper form, no later than the time of entry.
(4) After a horse has been removed from the furosemide list, the horse may not be placed back on the list for a period of sixty (60) calendar days unless it is determined to be detrimental to the welfare of the horse, in consultation with the official veterinarian. If a horse is removed from the official furosemide list a second time in a three hundred sixty-five (365) day period, the horse may not be placed back on the list for a period of ninety (90) calendar days.
(5) Furosemide shall only be administered on association grounds.
(6) Upon the request of the regulatory agency designee, the veterinarian administering the authorized bleeder medication shall surrender the syringe used to administer such medication, which may then be submitted for testing.
(7) Time of treatment. Horses qualified for medication and so indicated on the official bleeder list must be treated at least four (4) hours prior to post time.
(8) Medication administration. Bleeder medication shall be administered by a veterinarian licensed by the commission at an intravenous dose level not to exceed five hundred (500) milligrams and no less than one hundred fifty (150) milligrams. The executive director or judges may designate certain practicing veterinarians to administer furosemide under this rule. Such designation may be determined daily, weekly, or for any other appropriate time period. Administration of furosemide shall take place in the test barn or a specific location otherwise designated by the commission. An association employee shall be present and observe the drawing of furosemide into a syringe. The administering veterinarian shall provide a factory sealed bottle of furosemide from which the draws shall be made. The trainer of the horse receiving furosemide or his or her authorized representative or employee shall be present during furosemide administration. The association shall establish track rules for furosemide administrations that are consistent with these regulations.
(9) Out-of-state horses. A bleeder horse shipped into the state from another jurisdiction may be automatically eligible to receive furosemide provided that the jurisdiction from which it was shipped qualified it as a bleeder using criteria satisfactory to this state. The USTA, the breed registry foal certificate, or bleeder certificate may be utilized in determining a horse's eligibility to receive furosemide.
(10) The test level of furosemide under this rule shall not be in excess of one hundred (100) nanograms per milliliter of serum or plasma and shall not be below a urine specific gravity of one and ten one-thousandths ten-thousandths (1.010). If an insufficient volume of urine is obtained, a positive test shall be based upon quantitative testing performed on blood serum or plasma only. Split sample testing shall be quantitative and be performed on blood serum or plasma only.
